The book nor the table are facts--they are objects. Declaring a statement as fact is the same as declaring it to be true. So your conclusion "facts are unchanging, truths are relative and subjective" is a contradiction.

A fact is something that has really occurred or is actually the case.

Truth is most often used to mean being in accord with fact or reality

Agreed. So if truth is "in accord with fact" they stand or fall together.
